Apparently this is becoming a F1 analysis channel (I didn't see it coming either)

i don't know why it's just so fucking funny to me that a spokesasshole for a computer program used about 90% of the time to make busty cartoon porno truly believes his beepboop machine is "real work" when, like, "receptionist at the veterinarian's office" isn't.

don't worry, Sam Altman is confident that his efforts to eliminate vast numbers of jobs will all just sort of work out for the unemployed, eventually, possibly after they starve to death, which is technically a form of having it work out

Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren't Even "Real Work" to Start With
Worried that AI will destroy work? Well, Sam Altman asks if you've considered what a farmer from half a century ago thinks of your job, first.

I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵
Someone on Twitter writes: "Derek would you ever consider doing a thread on how transmascs can dress well and have clothing that helps hides hips and stuff? Only advice I've gotten are straight leg jeans and a boxy shirt"

@f1tv.bsky.social Alex Jacques mused on air during the Japanese GP that it surely must be the first time in all his years of announcing that the top 10 had completed their first lap without changing places. A quick analysis of a dataset says that this is only the 15th time this has happened

@f1tv.bsky.social can you explain why race control has said that the "light blue head padding material must be used"?

Thankyou

Guys, yesterday, I needed a cord I’ve been holding onto for 10 years.

IT WAS ALL WORTH IT.

Senator: I’ll speak in his defense because to err is human. Who among us hasn’t shown up drunk to work? Who here hasn’t cheated on their wife?

Hegseth: Please stop helping me

Senator: Who hasn’t taken off their pants at the zoo?

Post from Sarah Longwell says, "Since we're discussing states to add, I know the U.S. District that has a population greater than both Vermont and Wyoming that deserves a look."

Ursula K. LeGuin: "American science fiction has assumed a permanent hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, with rich, ambitious, aggressive males at the top, then a great gap, and then at the bottom the poor, the uneducated, the faceless masses, and all the women."
If you deny any affinity with another person or kind of person, if you declare it to be wholly different from yourself—as men have done to women, and class has done to class, and nation has done to nation—you may hate it, or deify it; but in either case you have denied its spiritual equality, and its human reality. You have made it into a thing, to which the only possible relationship is a power relationship. And thus you have fatally impoverished your own reality. You have, in fact, alienated yourself. This tendency has been remarkably strong in American SF. The only social change presented by most SF has been towards authoritarianism, the domination of ignorant masses by a powerful elite—sometimes presented as a warning, but often quite complacently. Socialism is never considered as an alternative, and democracy is quite forgotten. Military virtues are taken as ethical ones. Wealth is assumed to be a righteous goal and a personal virtue. Competitive free-enterprise capitalism is the economic destiny of the entire Galaxy. In general, American SF has assumed a permanent hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, with rich, ambitious, aggressive males at the top, then a great gap, and then at the bottom the poor, the uneducated, the faceless masses, and all the women. The whole picture is, if I may say so, curiously "un-American." It is a perfect baboon patriarchy, with the Alpha Male on top, being respectfully groomed, from time to time, by his inferiors.

Woman and Cats. 1969. wam.org/our-collecti...
Stylized painting of a light skinned woman with dark hair wearing an orange robe or kaftan type garment, reclining on a curved white surface against a grey background. There are few details in the painting, everything is composed of very bold shapes and colors that communicate movement, form, and mood rather than minutiae. In her hands the woman is picking up a shorthaired black cat while another one is curled up against her leg. The woman's expression is relaxed and blissful.
